When Someone You Love is Kinky

Build understanding, compassion, and better communication with When Someone You Love is Kinky by Catherine A. Liszt and Dossie Easton. Written for partners, friends, relatives, and loved ones of kinky people, this approachable paperback helps readers navigate curiosity, concern, confusion, and conversation with more openness and less judgment.

Inside, readers will find clear, non-threatening explanations of common kinks, why people may enjoy them, and how kink communities prioritize consent, communication, boundaries, and safety. The book also offers guidance for handling the emotional side of coming out, supporting someone you care about, and talking through differences in a way that strengthens trust instead of creating distance.
